So Hard To Believe...

That this time last year McCall was this big....

And now she is THIS big!

A Little of This, A Little of That....

Bath time fun

 playing with the water

 The back of the ladybug outfit her La La made her

 For some odd reason, sometimes McCall will suddenly break into spinning in circles

Until she gets dizzy and falls - silly girl :)

McCall's First Dentist Appointment

This afternoon McCall had her first dentist appointment. We had zero melt downs, so I considered that a success! (now, that doesn't mean she wasn't squirmy and all over the place....). La-la (or Grandma...aka my mother-in-law) met me with McCall at the dentist office so she helped take pictures and keep McCall entertained during the visit.

McCall playing in the waiting room while I finished filling out the paper work...

La La entertaining her...

And playing with the alligator in the waiting room that had big teeth...

Trying to look in McCall's mouth (I was afraid this would happen...haha)

OK, and we're in....

So proud of herself!

And now Dr. Elvington taking a look

McCall and Dr. Elvington, her most awesome dentist!!!! She was so gentle and sweet and most importantly made McCall feel comfortable! Thanks, Ashley for telling us about her!

16 Months.... A Little Late

Happy 16 Months Old, McCall! (A few days, OK, 9 days later....)
McCall has started doing so much that it's now hard to keep track, but I'll give it my best effort....
At 16 Months McCall:

• LOOOOOOOVES playing "Ring Around The Rosie" over and over and over....
• Says "I lav uuuuu" (I love you)
• Can drink from a straw (Thanks, La La!)
• Runs everywhere
• Still isn't a picky eater.
• Talks up a storm
• Is SOOOOO happy! Smiles all the time
• Likes to "mock" her Daddy. If he coughs, she coughs. If he sneezes, she attempts to sneeze by spitting...it's so funny!

I'm sure there is more, but it's been a fun and long weekend and that's all I can think of!

Happy 16 Months Old, McCall! You fill mine and your Daddy's life with love and joy every single day! We love you!

Photo Catch Up Part Dos!

I thought I had at least 15 more years before McCall started wearing my shoes... guess not! :)

My sweet fam!

Petting beating Wrigley (aka "pup pup")

Together again, at last! Price Miller and McCall!

"McCall, lets bust out of this joint"

Lindsey and McCall FINALLY got to meet! :) I'm pretty sure they are BFF's now :)

Casey teaching McCall bad habits! ha!

Photo Catch-Up!

Oh goodness, I have A LOT to catch up on and I am going to do it a little at a time.
Boy, McCall is one lucky girl- she has had a GREAT few weeks!

Riding with Cousin Drake and "Dran-pa" or "Pa-pa" or "Pop pop" (she changes his name daily)

McCall fell on me right as I snapped a picture...

and it continued to go off as I laughed.......

Wild hair day!

"Mom, I want to go outside to play with Daddy"

"...and Wrigley"

Excited to go swimming at Sissy and Boot's pool (her Great-Grandmother and Grandfather)

Boot giving her a cookie. His nickname for her is "Cookie Monster" :)

yummy cookie!

loving the water with Daddy!

and now with Mommy

the start of spaghetti night....

Holy moly! Some how this Type A personality even found some humor in McCall's spaghetti mess!

Blessings

Over the past few weeks, I have had several, numerous, a freakishly large amount of friends announce blessings entering their lives (AKA sweet lovable babies). But this one takes the cake... my sweet, wonderful, beautiful, most amazing Mom friend, Lindsey and her husband Cole are expecting their second child. Read HERE for the most honest, yet funny, reaction to her news! Love you Fishers!

A Little Home Video Action

I thought I would share some of McCall's latest videos.
The first one is of McCall learning how to drive the John Deere Gator at her Grandma and Grandpas!

McCall's cousin Drake came to visit. They are adorable playing together. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw them doing what is on this video. As you will see in the video, McCall (who is much heavier than Drake) is being pushed by Drake on her pink car. Poor Drake tries pushing her so hard it brings him to his knees! I just hate I caught the tail end of it and didn't get the whole thing on camera.

The next video is from last night at bath time. McCall LOVES the water! As you will see, she did not want to get out. (PS- Looking back, I realize how incredibly annoying I was by asking if she wanted to get out 12,000 times!- sorry!)

New Words....

So, McCall's vocabulary continues to expand everyday and it completely amazes me. Today McCall said not one but TWO new words!!!! McCall said "cookie" this morning. This was such a special moment- I'm sure you are wondering why. OK, a little background here.... I was 9 pounds when I was born, so it may be no surprise to you that "mama" or "dada" was NOT my first word... yep, you guessed it... "cookie" was my first word!!!
Also, cousin Drake came to visit today and McCall now looks at him and says "Dake" (Drake). It is adorable that she recognizes him!!!!
